Litter Busters Logo Contest
The Litter Busters Club is a free program offered to children between the ages of 4-12 years old in Mission, BC. Originally, it was originally named the Junior Anti-Litter Bug Club and was created in 2012. It is designed to promote education & awareness of the negative impact of litter on our environment & foster environmental leadership within our local youth. Members are encouraged to be apart of the solution, not the pollution.
Specifically, children will learn:
-
about the types of litter and where it should go (compost, recyclable, and garbage)
-
how litter can harm animals
-
how litter can contaminate and pollute our environment
-
solutions to help stop it
-
Most of all, NOT to be a litterbug!
​

​
Members are asked to take the litter pledge:
-
never litter & always put waste in the appropriate place
-
help clean up their Mission by picking up 5 pieces of litter at a local park, their school or near their home (under the supervision of a parent or adult)
-
reduce the amount of garbage they make by reducing what they use or recycling as much as possible.​
​
On occasion as an option, there will be local community events for the Litter Busters to join. These events will vary and can include a recycled crafts activity, park or creek cleanup, snacks & educational games. Please note, due to Covid-19 and provincial restrictions, our group events are currently paused until it is safe for us all to meet again.
